Here’s the last 25min of a birthday jam with Billy Raney, Scott Capizzano, Carlos Yniguez and many more doing your favorite metal covers! It was a super early start (3\4pm?) and they ended at 6 so another show could take place.

Alright, I have been holding off on posting this because a certain band member still owes me, but since it is another member’s birthday, here you go. Happy Birthday Mike Parisi! Filmed by Jim Mclain, Mike Yoas, and one other guy I think. Audio via soundboard by Eric Bianchi and audience recording with Neumann mics from Jason Ellis. Edit by Jim McLain. Thank Jim and thanks everyone who helped make this such a fun party!

This one was a request from Gus Buss (Jeff) and Mike Parisi. I have a DAT soundboard tape and this audience recording. The board tape is really bizarre- the mix is not great and there are surges of reverb that cause the volume peaks to overload on my DAT- I have never seen anything like it before. So, instead of the board tape I am uploading the better sounding audience tape for now.
I’ll try to matrix the board and audience tapes sometime in the future- I have figured out a way to time align via pluraleyes, but I need to jump through hoops. No time for that now.

EQ’d (bass boost) in Sony Soundforge
There’s kind of a long story behind this one, and this is only my memory of it..
After the first day of recording the LP, we ran off a cassette of the rough mix to listen to. Vonni (was it only Vonni?) thought that the vocals were too clean, and wanted them re-recorded. I thought they sounded great, they sound exactly like how Carlos sang back then. So back in the studio they went, to “dirty up” the vocals and release the CD that you might have heard. I think this version is FAR SUPERIOR. Too bad it is just a rough mix.
Side note- listen until the very end- there is a BONUS cover that Vonni sings. The guy who laughs when he starts singing is me.

I have a glut of video to post, so you get video on a Friday.
Here’s something you will either find totally boring or totally fascinating. I had this idea to get some studio footage and use it for a promo video (kind of like Iron Maiden’s Flight of Icarus promo) but it never went anywhere. Guitars and drums were tracked in the same room- crazy.
Inner ear studio was a little garage studio in the suburbs. I wish I remembered where it was exactly. I think it is in between San Juan ave and Mariposa somewhere. It’s all a blur.
My favorite part is when Parisi needs to duct tape the headphones to his head to keep them from falling off. Pure gold!

So I got back in touch with Bobby Whitright a couple of days ago and he was looking for a specific Redrum show. Since I was listening to this one, I decided to post it as well. Taped from the soundboard on a high bias cassette. Club Me became the Cattle Club shortly after this show. Great covers of Misfits and Iron Maiden toward the end of the set. The mix settles down and while it is imperfect, it ain’t bad.

Here’s a fun one that is vastly improved with all of the enhancements. This might have been the last time I saw Redrum with the Bobby and Jeff lineup. Show stops about halfway through so Vonni can have a bathroom break… and I follow him into the bathroom for a quick interview. What was I thinking?
We tried to enhance the board tape to bring up guitars, but Jeff’s bass is at the same frequency as the guitar so when I boost guitar, I get an annoying bass “pluck” which is unlistenable at the end. So, you get the raw board tape. It’s not too bad.

Here’s another lite rail show with Redrum. This one has Don Adams (RIP) on guitar.

So this one is kind of a long story so I will try to keep it short. I used to manage Redrum and they were playing an outdoor show in Lodi on a Saturday. I had to work saturdays so I worked half day, then raced over there to see them play. Well, I did not have a chance to eat… and there was a lot of free beer at the show… so unfortunately you get to see some of the hijinks after the set. Please note that CARLOS is manning/directing the camera during most of the after-show stuff.
